Basically, I have been trying to play a back up of FF X. I boot the PS2 with the Swap Disk and then I hold down the eject button until the reset button turns orange and the cd tray opens. I replace the swap disk with my back up FF X. I press X and the outer edges of the screen turn red.

I know that that means that I made a bad burn. I tried burning the game at 2x with Nero using the instructions in the sticky thread at the top of this forum section, and according to nero, the disk burned fine.

What is wrong? Is it the blank media? Do people have better luck with DVD+R? Or does that even matter?

I have read quite a few threads and all the information has been useful, but no one seems to have run into this problem specifically from what I have read thus far. I will continue to read on as well as hope for a reply. I will also reply to my own thread if it gets fixed in the mean time.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I would especially like to hear from people who have the same or a similar setup as I do.

I'm using the same setup and have been unable to get my dvd-r games to play. I haven't tried the vertibam discs yet. However, if i boot with my original burnout dvd press eject and insert the copy the game plays perfectly on the copy.
